Chapter 563 - 562: I’m Not Joking
Inspector!
He was actually an Inspector! Mo Bokong and the others were utterly stunned.
This was no simple position. There were only eight such individuals in all of Meiying County. No, with the newly appointed Qin Ya, there were now nine.
An Inspector, as the name implied, was responsible for overseeing the entirety of Meiying County. They even had the authority to act first and report later. Their power was in no way inferior to that of the two Mansion Masters.
Holding the Inspection Order in his hand, Qin Ya’s eyes glinted.
He then bowed to the Meiying Venerable and said, "Thank you, Venerable Lord."
"Mm. Xingyue, take Qin Ya to his Inspectorate."
"Er... Yes."
Jii Xingyue only snapped out of her shock upon hearing the Meiying Venerable’s words.
She walked up to Qin Ya, a trace of amazement in her eyes, and said with a faint smile, "Congratulations on your new appointment, Inspector Qin. From now on, we are colleagues."
The corner of Qin Ya’s mouth curved up slightly. "I’ll be in your care, Jii Mansion Master," he said lightly.
"I wouldn’t dare presume. Come, I’ll take you to your Inspectorate."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Qin Ya took out his mask and put it on again.
It would still take some time to use Dongmen Liyu’s blood essence to wash away the Ghost Blood Commandment Pattern. He had no desire to parade through the streets with this Curse on his face and attract attention.
The two of them headed for the Inspectorate together.
In the Central City district of the main city, a magnificent, long-sealed mansion with tightly shut gates suddenly bloomed with a dazzling radiance, drawing the gazes of countless experts.
"The ninth Inspectorate... I wonder who it will be."
"I’m not sure, but the other eight Inspectors all have a Half-Venerable Cultivation. This new one’s Cultivation can’t be too far off. This is really something to look forward to."
The crowd held their breath in anticipation, waiting for the new Inspector to appear.
At that moment, several figures came flying through the sky from a distance.
These people, both men and women, all had different appearances, but their auras were incomparably powerful. Vaguely, one could feel the Primordial Qi twisting around them.
"Look, it’s Inspector Li, Inspector Bai, and Inspector Zhao."
"As expected, the appearance of a new Inspector drew them all out."
"Hah, of course it did."
"Hiss... The power of an Inspector is truly extraordinary. In their presence, I feel like I wouldn’t even have a chance to strike. It’s like my True Essence is completely suppressed."
The several Inspectors arrived before the mansion, their eyes glittering with a strange light.
Among them, Inspector Zhao Yunyang, dressed in white and standing out from the crowd, couldn’t help but smile faintly. "Ha, after so long, a new Inspector has finally been born. I wonder who it is. Someone we know, perhaps?"
Inspector Bai Wuyou, a woman with delicate features dressed in a grand peony-patterned robe with a jade hairpin in her hair, looking like a noblewoman, also chuckled softly. "Let’s just wait and see."
Several Inspectors and numerous experts waited expectantly around the mansion.
Before long, Jii Xingyue arrived slowly with Qin Ya and his group.
"Look, it’s Jii Mansion Master."
"She’s here. She must have brought the new Inspector with her."
"There are quite a few people behind her. Could the Inspector be among them?"
"That can’t be right. The people behind her have pretty weak Cultivation. The strongest are just two Era-Defining Kings, and they aren’t even considered powerhouses among their peers."

"Tsk tsk, let me guess who this new Inspector is."
At this time, Inspectors Bai Wuyou and Zhao Yunyang walked up. Their gazes swept over the people behind Jii Xingyue, and Bai Wuyou’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. Showing a hint of confusion, she asked, "Jii Mansion Master, who might this new Inspector be?"
The corners of Jii Xingyue’s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a profound and mysterious smile.
"Why don’t you guess?"
Bai Wuyou showed a helpless expression, her gaze sweeping over Qin Ya and the others once more.
Finally, her eyes landed on Mo Bokong. Confused, she asked, "An Era-Defining King’s Cultivation... Jii Mansion Master, this new Inspector couldn’t be him, could it?"
"It’s not." Jii Xingyue shook her head.
This made Bai Wuyou and the others even more puzzled. Among this group, Mo Bokong was the strongest. If he wasn’t the new Inspector, then who was?
"Jii Mansion Master, it seems the Inspector didn’t come with you."
"No, he is right here with me."
"Could it be this female cultivator at the Era-Defining King realm?"
Bai Wuyou pointed at Bi Xiaoyu in surprise, but Jii Xingyue shook her head again.
The surrounding experts grew even more confused.
But in the crowd, Ning Bai, the Jinlin City Lord, Sima Yu, and others who had participated in the Slaughter Ruins Great Hunt and had not yet left were watching with horrified expressions.
They had a faint guess as to who the new Inspector was.
But they didn’t dare believe it.
"Alright, Jii Mansion Master, stop speaking in riddles. Hurry up and introduce the new Inspector. We can’t wait to see him in all his glory."
"Alright."
Jii Xingyue smiled faintly, then looked at Qin Ya and said with another light smile, "Inspector Qin, come here. Let me introduce you to the other Inspectors."
Qin Ya walked up to Bai Wuyou, Zhao Yunyang, and the others. He bowed slightly and said with a soft chuckle, "I am Qin Ya, the newly appointed Inspector. It’s a pleasure to meet you all."
Bai Wuyou, Zhao Yunyang, and the others just looked at each other in dismay.
Bai Wuyou pressed a hand to her forehead. "Jii Mansion Master, this isn’t funny," she said helplessly. "Stop joking with us and just bring out the Inspector."
"I’m not joking with you."
"How can you say that? This young man’s talent may be surprising, but his Cultivation is only at the King realm. With such a Cultivation, how could he possibly serve as an Inspector?"
Meanwhile, in the crowd, the Martial Artists who had been to the Slaughter Ruins and witnessed Qin Ya’s methods trembled, their eyes filled with utter shock.
They knew that Jii Xingyue was not joking.
"Heavens, it’s really him. It’s actually him."
"He actually became an Inspector. This is insane."
"What on earth was the Venerable thinking? For this guy to become an Inspector... she must be planning to go head-to-head with the Dongmen Family."
"Let me process this. This whole thing is just too shocking."
But the experts who had not participated in the Slaughter Ruins Great Hunt were somewhat confused.
They looked at the shocked Martial Artists beside them and asked questions out of curiosity.
When they learned of Qin Ya’s battle record, they all sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.
"Heavens, a Half-Step King who defeated multiple Era-Defining Kings?"
"He killed Dongmen Gu of the Dongmen Family before even reaching the King realm, and after advancing to King, he used the Four Great Mysteries to slay the Half-Venerable Ancestor Dongmen."
"You’ve got to be kidding. Since when were Kings so powerful?"
Tones of disbelief, doubt, and shock spread through the crowd.
Bai Wuyou and the other Inspectors naturally heard the surrounding chatter clearly. A look of horror appeared on their faces, and Bai Wuyou turned to Jii Xingyue. "What they’re saying... is it true?"
Jii Xingyue nodded. "It is."
HISS...
Upon receiving Jii Xingyue’s confirmation, everyone was utterly shocked.
Their gazes on Qin Ya were like they were looking at a monster. What else but a monster could achieve such a battle record? It was absolutely terrifying!
"Then he... he really is the Inspector!"
"Qin Ya, take out your Inspection Order and show it to them."
At her words, Qin Ya took out a Purple Jade Order and poured his True Essence into it.
In an instant, a brilliant purple light erupted, and the heavens and earth trembled.
